Are Erythritol and xylitol interchangeable in recipes measure for measure?

[Triiooman]

Yes, they both tend to be 1:1 with sugar measurements in how they're packaged.
The Erythritol (my favorite of the two) is about 80% sweet of sugar (0.2cal/gram).
Xylitol is 100% sweet of sugar, but does have more calories (2.5cal/gram).
(Sugar is 4cal/gram)

Okay so I'm confused again. It they are both 1:1 with sugar, then they would be equal to each other as well, correct? Why is one sweeter than the other?

[XKAgustin]

Well, guess it depends on how sweet you like things... You'd probably have to go 1:1.25 for the Erythritol, if you're going for the exact sweetness. I like it because it IS less sweet. :-)
